It had been a raining day and the night proved to be no different. Kim knocks on the door of her ex best friend's home. The reason for the long-term friendship ending was that Kat, ex best friend began having an affair with her fiancée. Kim could not believe it when she found the two in bed together. The night was similar to a night like the one she was experiencing tonight. Kim was exhausted from training for the Olympics and wanted to crawl under her warm covers and snuggle next to her fiancé Jerry. What awaited her was anything but that. As she makes her way up the winding staircase, Kim wanted to slide her shoes off but her body would not give her the strength to bend over and pop off her tennis shoes off. I can have Jerry take them off for me Kim thinks as she reaches the top of the staircase with a sigh. She turns a corner and walks to the master bedroom. The door is slightly ajar and Kim can make out two people in her bed she shared with her fiancé. It took her a second to wrap her mind around the people who were having sex in the bed. This cannot be right. Kim shakes her head trying to clear the image of the pair. Without thinking, she screams out. "What the hell is going on here," Kim yells at the couple.
Kat turns her head at an angle and sees Kim. She shrieks out. "Kim what are you doing here?"
Kim laughs a bitter, evil laugh. "Funny thing is I live here." "What are you doing here?"
Jerry rises off Kat and stands up not caring that he was naked. "She meant we thought you were not coming home until tomorrow afternoon."
"You make this sound as if it is alright," Kim has a disgusted expression on her face. "How did this happen; you are my fiancé and she is my best friend?"
Kat pulls a sheet over her body. "We did not mean for it to happen; one night we just looked into each other's eyes and could not help ourselves."
"How long has this been going on," Kim screams.
Jerry eyes her for a second. "Going on a year and three months although we did have the moments before when we would kiss and touch."
Kim looks like she is going to be sick. "I need to leave you two are making me sick." She suddenly finds strength. "I will be back with an attorney to discuss our break-up." Kim walks down the hallway and back down the stairs. She unlocks the front door and walks to her car. Kim shakes the image from her head as the door slowly opens under her knock. What the… She slowly walks into the house. "Kat, I received your message and at first I was going to not…" Kim cannot finish her sentence because she sees a gruesome sight. Jerry and Kat were both lying on the floor in a pool of blood. She gasps and covers her hand with her mouth. Before Kim could do anything else, she is whacked over the head and slumps to the floor. Sometime later, she slowly regains her consciousness and puts a hand to her head where she was whacked over the head. "Ouch, what happened?" Kim slowly stands up.
"Freeze FBI," Tommy yells at Kim.
Kim looks at the man in utter confusion. "What is happening?" Her legs become wobbly and she touches her head again. Kim makes a move in his direction.
"I said freeze," Tommy holds his gun at Kim's head.
She stops and looks at him with frighten eyes.
Tommy slowly makes his way over to her and puts handcuffs on her. "You know exactly what is going on here." He walks her to the kitchen and sits her down in a chair. "I have a quick question before I take you down into custody."
"What are you talking about?" Kim squirms under Tommy's glaze and the uncomfortable handcuffs. "I… I do not understand this?"
Tommy gives Kim a smirk. "Right so you just happened to be over this house a house were your let me see ex best friend leaved with your ex fiancé right." He gestures at the house. "The two of them just so happens to be shot dead and you are covered in their blood but you do not comprehend anything I am saying or the situation."
Kim looks up at Tommy with a shocked expression. "They are dead."
Tommy gives her a look as if she knows the answer to that question already. "Yes Jerry and Kat are dead." She is going to play innocent. He holds in a sigh and helps Kim stand up. "Time to take a trip to a place you will go to call home." Tommy walks Kim out the door.
"Wait, what are you doing?" Kim tries to plant her feet on the ground.
"You are under arrest," Tommy tells her. He reads her the Miranda rights. "Watch your head."
Kim slides into the patrol car with a grimace expression on her face. Okay Kim calm down and think. Jerry and Kat are dead. Who would want them dead besides me?
Tommy gives Kim the silent treatment as the drive to the police station. He glances at her from time to time. There is no way she can escape this crime. Tommy parks the car and leads her into the station. "Sit down," he points to a chair in the interrogation room and walks out.
"Hey Oliver, whatever happened to waiting for back up?" Adam questions his best friend.
"You think I could not handle her," Tommy fires back.
Adam stares at Kim through the double mirror. "She is a beauty."
"Yeah a lethal beauty; that murdered her fiancé and best friend," Tommy scowls.
"I would have murdered those two myself if I was in her situation and so would you," Adam teases Tommy. "Do you want me to question her?"
Tommy shakes his head no. "I can handle her." He walks back into the interrogation room.
Kim stares at Tommy for a second. "May I have an ice pack and a towel to clean up?"
"But of course; let me go obtain a towel, so you can wipe up any traces of evidence you have left." Tommy sneers at Kim. He presses play on a tape recorder.
The nerve of this jerk to deny me a towel and ice pack. "My head is pounding." Kim lightly touches her head where she was hit.
Tommy ignores Kim and begins questioning her. "What were you doing at the residence?"
"I was going to speak with Kat," Kim rests against the table.
"Why would you see her?" Tommy writes notes on his notepad. "I think she would be the last person you would want to see?"
"She sent me a text telling me to meet her at her home," Kim tries to ignore the pain. "At first I thought against going but was curious about what she had to tell me since our last spat."
"You go talk to Kat and the situation begins to escalate because Jerry is there?"
"No I did not know he was there." Kim bites her bottom lip. "I knocked on the door and it opened, so I walked inside."
Tommy nods his head in pseudo agreement. "Can you tell me what happens next?"
"That is still a little fuzzy to me," Kim breathes in and out.
"Let me clarify it for you," Tommy sets the pen down. "You went in the residence happy that the door was unlocked and shot the couple down."
Kim gasps. "That is not what happened."
Adam watches from behind the double mirror amused. He had officers and coroners over at the scene of the crime.
"Please explain to me what happened then," Tommy picks back up his pen.
"I stepped inside the home and walk a short distance," Kim resists the urge to put her head down. "I saw Jerry and Kat on the floor with a pool of blood around them then I was hit on the head and next thing I know you show up." Kim sighs; her head injury was making her vision blurry.
Tommy notices Kim uneasiness. "Stay put," he walks out the room and fetches a few items. "Do not look at me like that," Tommy tells Adam as he walks past him.
"What I am just observing the interrogation." Adam puts his hands up.
Tommy rolls his eyes and walks back into the room. He sees Kim slumped over. "Here; he tosses an ice pack at her head. Tommy sets down a water bottle, aspirin, and a towel.
Kim grabs the aspirin and water bottle first. She takes the medicine, next she wipes her herself the best she can, finally she applies the ice pack to her head. "Can we resume this tomorrow?"
"Oh you would like that wouldn't you; give you more time to come up with more lies and to hide more evidence," Tommy laughs. "You are not going anywhere." She is a sly one. "Tell me the truth Ms. Hart, so we can both receive some much needed rest."
Before Kim can reply, her attorney bursts into the room. "Kimberly does not have to answer any more questions." He walks over to Kim. "If you do not have anything to charge her with then we are leaving and do not attempt to hold her for forty-eight hours or else I will reign down on this police station." Billy helps Kim up. "Come on Kim; I am taking you home."
Tommy watches with a pissed off expression. "Ms. Hart," he calls out to her.
Kim looks up at him and holds out her hands.
He has no option but to unhand cuff her. "I will take you down," Tommy follows them out the room. Money will not get you out of this.
Adam walks over to Tommy. "I am sorry but he is good at what he does."
"I know that he is one of the best but she is not getting away with murder." Tommy decides to give Kim a warning look as she enters Billy's car. He walks out the police station.
Kim gives Billy a small smile. "Thank you, Billy."
"Do not mention it, baby sister." Billy unlocks the car door when he hears a pop.
Tommy is the first to react and runs over to Kim and Billy before he pushes them to the ground.
The sheriff runs outside after the gunfire has ceased. "Oliver bring them back inside."
"Sure thing chief," Tommy walks behind Kim and Billy inside the station.
"Due to the new development; Ms. Hart will need to stay in protective custody."
Tommy stares at the sheriff. "I think a nice cell will do."
Kim glances between the men. "I cannot stay in a cell; I was just attacked."
